Is it harmful to put ice cubes in your vagina? Like, are there any side effects I should know about? I'm kinda curious but also worried this might not be safe.

Putting ice cubes in your vagina can actually have negative side effects. It can cause irritation, numbness, and even frostbite. It is not recommended to insert ice cubes into the vagina. If you are experiencing any discomfort or pain in that area, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm a little worried because my last period was on June 16th and it hasn't started in July at all. It's been 23 days since my period was supposed to start, and I just took a pregnancy test today but it came back negative. Should I retest for pregnancy later on, or is there a chance something else could be going on with my health?

I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?

Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.
